Michael Douglas says he might have put his career ahead of his family when he was younger: "My career was really just getting started and that was my focus, maybe more than it should have been. I was gone more than I should have been."[NYDN]

Douglas' wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, has opened up about her reaction to her husband's diagnosis: "I know maybe I should be stronger but emotionally I just don't want to see the man I love hooked to a chemo IV or lying motionless on a radiation table under a positioning mask...It wasn't a huge shock, I knew something was up but the one thing that struck me first was: ‘This doesn't happen to Michael Douglas'. The hardest part is seeing his fatigue because Michael is never tired. I'm 25 years younger than him and he wears me out." [DailyMail]

"I love 30 more than I've ever loved anything. I feel like I was born on my 30th birthday. It's finally the time where I've fully accepted and loved myself, which I'm realizing more and more each day — it is so important to love yourself. Because if you don't love yourself than nothing really matters. For a long time, I went through life kind of beating myself up and trying to be a perfectionist and do everything right and I just thought, 'What's the point?' I have faults, that's fine. I can still strive to be better, but I'm not going to be as rough on myself as I used to and it's just kind of alleviating all of this stress and kind of taken a weight off my shoulders and I think now I'm just happy."-Kristen Bell [Parade]
